"TUBING: Lightweight butted heat-treated CrMo steel. When Waterford makes the frame, it's a mix of Reynolds and True Temper. When Toyo (in Japan) makes the frame, it's Japanese tubing that is every bit as good at least, but not as well-known. Basically....we're talking about a fine steel bike here. If your frame size is between 57 and 58cm, choosing between the A. Homer Hilsen and the functionally identical Saluki is tough, but despite their being separate models with different identities, both share the same, identical functional qualities, and what one can do, the other can do equally well, exactly." But still if you really want to know, its probably best to just call RBW.
